Some visual images with lovely memories...

The glorious and ever changing view outside our house

..often including kite-surfers.
This guy did tricks, and even jumped a boat !

...and many wonderful sunsets.
Watched while sitting on our wall with a cocktail in hand.

With the occasional storm kicking up.
Now the wet season has started we get a hour or two of rain every week or so !

A lovely visit from Mum and Dad/Nana and Grandad.
This photo taken as they were about to depart on the ferry.

Many breakfasts and other meals eaten outside

The view from our favorite restaurant - The Beachlounge

Many dinners at the night market

A great visit from Pairoj, Jib and Khanoon
...on the swing

...and in the hammock

More time enjoying the swing that Mike and Pairoj made

....and watching others get enjoyment from it too.

Matthew and his school soccer team.  Ages 7 to 10 years.
Players from: France, Portugal, Sweden, Brazil, Thailand, Japan and NZ !

Certificate and medal haul on Si-Panya School Sports Day !

A heart stopping adventure 22m up high in the trees

I was so proud of the enthusiasm and courage and sense of fun with
which Annabelle tackled this hardest traverse.

Our Thai language lesson with Cru Pam

Learning about the island.
Visiting the coconut site and watching coconut milk being made.

And learning that petrol can also be sold from whisky bottles.
Which we have found very handy on occasion !

Ching-chok spotting, both inside and outside the house

Exploring various Buddhist shrines and temples

More glorious beaches...is it possible to tire of them?

And bath temperature water to hang out in. 

Matthew and Annabelle feeling the beat on Hat Rin beach, venue of the Full Moon parties

I loved the care taken here with towels

...and a toilet roll.
So at odds with many of our unpleasant toilet experiences !

And lastly...a wonderful farewell from Si-Panya School
